Shibori Indigo

Discover the ancient art of natural dyeing and step into the world of indigo, one of nature’s most captivating colors.

In this hands-on workshop, artist, educator, and gardener Susan Mania guides you through the living magic of indigo — a dye with a history stretching back thousands of years and a depth of color no synthetic can replicate.

You’ll explore the history, science, and artistry behind natural indigo, then roll up your sleeves and bring it to life.

Learn how to build and maintain your own indigo vat — a breathing, living dye bath — and discover how it transforms fabric, paper, and other natural materials with rich, luminous blues. Through the Japanese art of Shibori, you’ll use folding, binding, and resist techniques to create stunning, one-of-a-kind patterns on your own organic bandanna to take home. No two pieces are ever the same.

You’ll leave with:

     A hand-dyed Shibori bandanna you made yourself

     Recipes and technical guides to set up your own vat at home

     The confidence to keep dyeing long after the workshop ends

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned maker, this workshop

offers a meditative, creative experience rooted in craft traditions that

have endured for centuries.

All materials provided.

Herbal tea served for refreshment.

ReishiWorkshop

Join mushroom cultivator and forager Kacy Binz for a deep dive into the fascinating world of Reishi, often called the Mushroom of Immortality. This legendary fungus has been revered in traditional medicine for thousands of years for its ability to support longevity, vitality, immunity, and stress resilience—earning its almost-mythical name.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn:

• Why Reishi is known as the Mushroom of Immortality, including its powerful medicinal properties and historical use
• How to identify and forage Reishi safely in the wild
• Why Reishi is medicine, not food—it’s too tough and woody to eat, but incredibly potent when prepared properly as

  

  tea, tinctures, or extracts

• How Reishi can be used for art and jewelry, thanks to its beautiful, lacquered surface that preserves well and can be used decoratively
• How to grow your own Reishi, including making a take-home Reishi grow kit

Reishi mushrooms are more rare and slower-growing than oysters, making them extra special—but with the right

knowledge and care, they’re absolutely within reach for home growers. This workshop is designed to empower and inspire, whether you’re brand new to mushrooms or already cultivating.

✨ Reishi tea will be provided so you can experience this medicinal mushroom firsthand.

 

 

 

Kacy has experience growing a wide variety of delectable mushrooms, such as lions mane, oysters, piopinno, white beech, chestnut, nameko and more.  She also enjoys foraging for wild mushrooms and plants, as well as making tea blends and tinctures. Her goal is to inspire people to incorporate more mushrooms into their diet, to become more connected with nature and our source of food, and to make delicious and creative recipes using mushrooms!
